Samantha Ruth Prabhu was a model student. Following viral pic of her Class 10 mark sheet left fans in awe

Years after school, one very rare childhood memory of Samantha Ruth Prabhu resurfaced in the public eye recently and this time received accolades for the actress—for her studies this time. A photo of her Class 10 report card was going viral on social media, sending waves of nostalgia and affection. Being a confident performer on screen and down-to-earth, Samantha surprised fans once more—this time with her studies.

The marksheet reflected great marks in many subjects, which revealed a hard-working and disciplined side of the star that people hadn't seen before. While her talent for film-making is adequately proven, the preview of her school days helped to reinforce her image even more, so much so that people started referring to her as a special blend of beauty and brains. It was, of course, an offhand comment penned by one of her schoolteachers that really touched people's hearts. Citing her as an "asset to the school," the comment melted the fans and caused them to respect her more than the good grades themselves.

The re-discovered school essay then created a stir on the web, where the photograph posted by the fans was preceded by phrases of throwback memories, love, and pride. Most were particularly moved by the poignancy of the words written by the teacher herself, knowing that even during her own younger years, Samantha had affected people she spent time with so much.

She countered the shock internet wave with sweetness and laughter. She uploaded the picture of the old report card on X (formerly Twitter) with a brief yet sweet caption that read, "Ha ha, this popped up again. Awww."

Her gracious and humble reply only served to endear her more to the masses. It was not as much her greatness that she had known before, which gained the affections of all—it was her humility and dignity in acknowledging where she had been.

While Samantha has stayed relatively low-key since her own breakup, she remains a public interest. She was recently seen with director Raj Nidimoru, with whom she works on two films as well. There's word that Raj himself is making a personal transformation of his own, although neither have been reported to be doing so publicly.

Professionally, Samantha continues adding to her illustrious net portfolio. She recently also appeared in Citadel: Honey Bunny, the Indian adaptation of the American spy-action television series, whose performance impressed netizens as much as it did critics. Presently, she is working on web series Rakt Brahmand and also gearing up for Bangaram. Both are highly anticipated by her fans, who continue to be her pillar of strength at every stage of her life.
